Self-antigen (self-Ags) stimulation induces VISTA expression on CD4+ T cells and induces self-tolerance.3 Alloantigen (allo-Ags) stimulation induces transient expression of VISTA, which is lost by 24 hours and induces GVHD. Anti-VISTA mAb given during this 24-hour time window deletes alloreactive T cells via antigen-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). CD8+ T cells are spared, and GVL is preserved.
